The annual Nothing Like a Dame concert celebrates the contributions of women to theatre and the performing arts with a vaudeville-style night of song, dance and comedy whose purpose is to raise funds for the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative. In 2002, performers at Nothing Like a Dame included Bernadette Peters, Audra McDonald, Chita Rivera, Kathleen Turner, Bebe Neuwirth, Ann Reinking, Debra Monk, Michele Lee and Jennifer Holliday.
